You're assuming the word Morrowind is using the base words "Morrow" and "Wind". That's very human-language-centric of you

Edit: Also, you assume all compound words in the English language follow the rules of keeping both words completely intact. You are mistaken. The word "alright" vs "all right" comes to mind.

Its only 1 W google Elder Scrolls III and it will show you Morrowind when it was originally released. I thought the same thing!

Also, the extra v in Vvardenfell is redundant. It would save everyone time if we just wrote Vardenfel. Lol.

I'm pretty sure "Myth" is spelled with a single "y".

To be honest, it should just be Elder Scrolls Online: Vvardenfell. For so many reasons.

Rouven

Myyth. Too many y's. Myth.



Just messin' with ya.

No reason is more important than the marketing one for Morrowind name.

It's actually a name that they made so it could still be pronounced the same and be spelt hudfkBVFKUVF and it wouldn't be wrong.

Whoever put the 'b' in subtle is quite clever...

Nice try, but that isn't how you spell Elvis!

Looks like you're having a bad spelling day

Khajiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiit thinks you're focused on the spelling and not the intent. It's like sneezing into a bowl of moonsugar after you intended to just take a small lick.

I think the conclusion has to be that Marrowbone is elvish too.

Let's get all sirius, I present for your peroozal from the readit:

MORROWIND

This Province has gone by many names in the past. Firstly, it was named Dwemereth (which seems to be just centred on Vvardenfell at the time). The name simply means "of the Dwemer". When the first Chimer settlers landed, they named their land after their prophet Veloth. When the two people were united in the First Council, the land was renamed Resdayn, of which I couldn't find an etymology. When the first council collapsed, and the Battle of Red Mountain took place, Red Mountain erupted, and many people fled from Vvardenfell onto the mainland (although the Sea of Ghosts might be a product of this disaster). From this moment, the name Morrowind was coined, but only popularised later. Morrow is an archaic English word for morning, or the following day (as in tomorrow). Wind is clear. Although the name is probably older than the West-is-past and East-is-future idea, it does seem to go this way. The name is not translated in other languages.
Edit: The following etymology popped up some time ago, by HQ

Did you even look?

I mean, clearly this whole thread is a dumb joke, and Morrowind's name has absolutely nothing to do with that, but it's a neat coincidence regardless.

Need that LoL button nao <--intentionally misspelled

close and interesting coincidence....but not quite.

"Other fauna include a wide selection of tide pool animals, like hermit crabs, small fish, starfish, sea cucumbers, mussels, bivalve mollusks, coral, and more.
On land few flora can survive the harsh, dry environment on the rock, but in the surrounding bay, kelp, sea grass, kelp forest plants, and tide pool plants can survive, and a few common grasses, mosses, lichens and weeds from the mainland take root on the rock itself."

The Isle of Morro in the link you gave has no mushrooms and no mudcrabs.
So not the same place.

There's an extra "r" in February - why is it there, nobody pronounces it!

There's a town in the UK called "Bridgwater" - where did the missing "e" go?

Morrowind is fine, but out of interest - how do German players pronounce it, Morrowind or Morrovint?

Although...
(see what I did there?)
Rouven left out the next part of the explanation

The name is a Nordic buggering of the official Dunmeris Mora Vvynth

Mora Vvynth is most definitely not English. Which is the correct way the region got the name?

And if it is Morrow-wind, this is called a portmanteau, and thus is fine/grammatically correct as Morrowind with only one W.
